\n\tFlamborough Head, North Yorkshire – Old Fall Plantation – 4th October 2007.<\/span><\/span><\/strong>\n<\/div>\n
\n\t \n<\/div>\n
\n\tDuring the course of the day on 3rd October 2007, a Brown Flycatcher was discovered in the small <\/span>copse at Flamborough Head known as The Old Fall Plantation.  A mega eastern vagrant, breeding <\/span>in the Himalayas, Southern Siberia, Mongolia & China. A potential first for Britain, with two previous <\/span>records placed on Category D1 of the official British List. One in 1956 from Northumberland and one <\/span>from Fair Isle in July 1982.<\/span>\n<\/div>\n
\n\t \n<\/div>\n
\n\tThis bird was a first winter and had arrived during an exceptional period of North Easterly weather <\/span>conditions across the east coast of the British Isles. Already Siberian Thrush had reached Shetland <\/span>& a whole host of other good rare migrants, including Turkistan Shrike, several Blyth’s Reed <\/span>Warbler, an eastern race Subalpine Warbler and a bag full of Yellow-browed Warblers. <\/span>\n<\/div>\n
\n\t \n<\/div>\n
\n\tAfter a real nail biting evening on the 3rd October, it was at 7:30am on the morning of the 4th <\/span>October that I set my eyes on this stunning little bird. Remarkably, considering where the bird was <\/span>located, it performed exceptionally well to around 300 birders that had gathered in the early morning <\/span>sunshine.<\/span>\n<\/div>\n
\n\t \n<\/div>\n
\n\tMy best digiscoped effort is shown above, however the below two stunning images were kindly <\/span>provided by Steve Arlow and capture all the ID features of this Siberian Gem.<\/span>\n<\/div>\n
